Chapter 1789: Three-Colored Tai Qing Flying Sword
In the desolate, deathly silence of the void, where the Membrane of Law-Extinction concealed heavenly secrets and karmic causes, a youth in green robes sat cross-legged.
Rivers and great rivers of water, streaked with flashing Lei Chong Guang, flowed from the surrounding void, fell beside him, and were entirely swallowed by his cultivation of the Gong Fa, leaving not a single drop.
This was naturally the spiritual liquid from the storage treasure of the Son of Heavenly Punishment.
These vast quantities of spiritual liquid were continuously absorbed by the Great Sun Sword Disciple, transformed into sustenance, and constantly tempered his Fa body and meridians.
This small body was merely the size of a youth, yet it seemed like a world's abyss; no matter how much spiritual liquid or heavenly treasures and earthly gems it swallowed, it was never satisfied.
Under the circulation of the "Law-Extinction Sun Sutra," these massive amounts of heavenly and earthly spiritual qi and treasures were transformed into exquisite meridian Immortal Dao structures and flesh-and-blood Immortal Dao structures, becoming Immortal Dao runes and rule runes deeply hidden within the meridians and flesh.
That flesh-and-blood form, seemingly mere flesh and blood, was actually a crystallized Immortal Dao creation containing profound Immortal Dao wisdom.
This was a supreme creation that combined magic power storage, divine consciousness amplification, magic power amplification, and rule amplification!
Do not be fooled by its small size; in reality, its interior was immensely vast and incredibly complex, far more complex than a super warship.
The pinnacle wisdom of Immortal Dao civilization was embodied within this small flesh-and-blood body.
Time passed endlessly; the aura of the Great Sun Sword Disciple grew continuously stronger, his Fa body continuously recovered, and the flowing Lei Ting rivers and great rivers around him sometimes turned into rivers of seven treasures flowing with pearls and jade, originating from the Future Buddha Disciple.
The heavenly treasures and earthly gems of these Divine Dao beings contained much incense power, which was very troublesome for many cultivators.
For the Great Sun Sword Disciple cultivating the path of Law-Extinction, it was insignificant; it was easily driven out and refined into surging heavenly and earthly spiritual qi and numerous Immortal Dao metal elements, which were smelted into his Fa body.
Leisurely, years and months passed unnoticed.
Unknowingly, more than fifteen hundred years had passed.
On this day, the Great Sun Sword Disciple awoke from seclusion, slowly opened his eyes, and a bright, sharp light flashed and vanished, as if to pierce through all things.
He had already returned to his peak state!
Moreover, his power had even exceeded that, becoming stronger!
"My sword art has become even stronger."
"I have taken another step closer to the Eighth Realm of the Sword Dao. How far is it from here to the Sword Dao Eighth Realm of the Dao Sword, which holds the limits of a rule branch?"
Jiang Ding whispered.
He sensed that this distance would be extremely vast.
Because the Eighth Realm of the Sword Dao is the Sword of the Supreme; any being who holds the Eighth Realm of the Sword Dao must possess Supreme power, otherwise, the instant the sword is drawn, their Shen Hun He Fa and Fa body would instantly collapse, and they would die immediately.
Countless geniuses in the boundless starry sky constantly drew closer to the True Immortal Maiden; whenever they thought they were strong enough and had taken a huge step forward, looking ahead, the True Immortal Maiden remained in a distant, unknown place.
"Great Sun Heavenly Palace."
Jiang Ding said softly.
"Yes,"
"Sword Disciple."
The Great Sun Heavenly Palace responded softly.
The palace trembled slightly, spitting out two objects from the core Ninth-Order Sun Sword-Refining Array: a mass of flashing Lei Chong Guang, an almost indestructible green-purple divine metal, and a mass of faint Buddha light, with countless Sanskrit chants, a bright divine metal; both possessed extraordinary qi and phenomena, far more extraordinary than all Ninth-Order heavenly treasures and earthly gems.
In these nearly two thousand years, Jiang Ding had not done nothing besides healing.
Besides healing, he continuously deduced Gong Fa, deduced sword arts, and contemplated the scriptures given to him by the Sun Sword Lord; he had now read more than half of the three hundred and sixty thousand scriptures and was about to finish.
This included the complete Jiang Jiang Jinxian scripture "Heavenly Desolation Yang Python Heaven-Refining Sutra" and several incomplete Jiang Jiang Jinxian scriptures; while accumulating a vast number of questions, his Immortal Dao foundation had greatly increased.
A very important factor in this plan to go to the Great Yin-Yang Sword Realm was to find the Sun Sword Lord to answer tens of thousands of years of accumulated Immortal Dao doubts, and to ask him for the next stage's tutoring materials and extended reading scriptures.
This was regarding the accumulation of Immortal Dao foundation.
Regarding the refinement of the flying sword, the Great Sun Sword Disciple spent over a thousand years smelting the Ben Ming Fa of the Future Buddha Disciple and the Punishment God Disciple using the "Nine Heavens Ascension Sword-Refining Art"; what the Great Sun Heavenly Palace spat out was the result.
Clang!
The Tai Qing Flying Sword emitted a joyful sword cry.
She very much liked these two items, as they could enhance the foundation of the flying sword.
"Hahaha!"
"The flying sword has transformed and will take another step forward!"
Jiang Ding was also extremely delighted.
Hum!
The sword-refining array of the Great Sun Heavenly Palace unfolded layer by layer; countless sun runes bloomed, and massive amounts of Seventh-Order, Eighth-Order, and even Ninth-Order heavenly treasures and earthly gems were taken from the storage treasures of the Future Buddha Disciple and the Punishment God Disciple, smelted into strands of metal wire.
These heavenly treasures and earthly gems were absorbed by the Tai Qing Flying Sword, continuously merging into itself, swallowing and transforming into nourishment for the flying sword.
Compared to the previous time when it swallowed the Zi Ben Ming Fa treasures of Immortal artifacts, this time proceeded very smoothly and effortlessly; with the crackling sounds of a meal being eaten, it absorbed the essence of the two divine sons and Buddha disciples' Ben Ming Shen Bao.
Because, at this moment, the Tai Qing Flying Sword was already stronger than their Ben Ming Shen Bao!
This was not a snake swallowing an elephant, but an elephant trampling a hyena, suppressing it with a majestic, overwhelming momentum.
The living wills contained within the Ben Ming Shen Bao of the two divine sons and Buddha disciples were originally very stubborn; under the majestic suppression of the Tai Qing Flying Sword, they collapsed bit by bit, and the essence of the treasures was absorbed by the Tai Qing Flying Sword.
At the same time, Jiang Ding also learned the names of the divine metals used to forge the Ben Ming Shen Bao of the Future Buddha Disciple and the Punishment God Disciple.
The divine metal of the Punishment God Disciple's Shen Bao is named Tian Yu Lei Fa Mie Sheng Jin; it is the proof-of-Dao object manifested by the extreme path of the rule branch of the Mountain-Suppressing Heavenly King, representing a kind of authority over the punishment of heaven and earth.
The divine metal of the Future Buddha Disciple's Buddha treasure is named Chong Guang Ming Wei Lai Shen Jin; it is a lineage divine metal symbolizing infinite vastness, infinite space, and infinite time, a proof-of-Dao object of an extreme rule branch.
Proof-of-Dao objects of rule branches.
This is the reason why they are called Supreme.
They can create things out of thin air with the authority of an extreme rule branch; the Great Yin-Yang Sword Realm is Tai Qing Divine Iron, the Wuxingtian Sect is Five Elements Void Copper, and so on, each with its own mysteries.
If the future Great Sun Sword Disciple can ascend to Supreme, his proof-of-Dao object of a rule branch should be Great Sun Immortal Spirit Gold.
Within the bright and brilliant sword-refining array of the Great Sun Heavenly Palace, Jiang Ding methodically smelted the Ben Ming Fa treasures of the two divine sons and Buddha disciples, turning them into divine metal essence, and swallowed them bit by bit into the Tai Qing Flying Sword.
Thus, it continued for several hundred years.
The last trace of the Ben Ming Shen Bao of the two divine sons and Buddha disciples was swallowed, leaving only some useless impurities which were expelled and collected.
These impurities, while impurities to the Tai Qing Flying Sword, were also rare heavenly treasures and earthly gems, and were of considerable use to the industry of the Immortal Sects.
Although Great Sun Sword Disciple had come into wealth, he had not forgotten the hardworking and simple lifestyle.
With the sword refining finished, all the light condensed.
"It succeeded."
Jiang Ding admired the beautiful Great Clarity Flying Sword.
This was a three-foot-long flying sword with nine colors; originally only the green hue had shone, but now, the golden and purple colors slowly emerged, making the Great Clarity Flying Sword's sharpness even superior.
At the same time, as the innate flying sword improved, Great Sun Sword Disciple's Fa Body likewise strengthened by a large margin, beginning to vaguely match the Great Sun Immortal-Mortal Sword Soul.
